Complete Joy

We are writing this to you to make our own joy complete.
1Jn.1:4

John writes his testimony of what he has seen and heard. Why? To complete the joy that comes from his spreading the Good News about Jesus.

There is a joy in spreading good news. I recall the joy I had in telling people of the birth of my first child. Mother and child were well! People were delighted for me and I was blessed in telling them. 

I've helped run Alpha Courses in our parish. There is a building up of joy in both the hosts and guests as the good news of God's love is proclaimed again and again over the eleven weeks of the course. 

Do I want a joy that is complete? I can try spreading some good news today.

Saint John the Apostle, please pray that we become joyful spreaders of the Good News.
